L4Linux bootprompt question

[Jayesh Salvi]

Here is the detailed trace at boot time:

INIT: version 2.84 booting
...

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file
/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-14/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
Checking root filesystem
/dev/hda6 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting
	
[FAILED]

*** An error occurred during the system check
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Ctrl-D to continue):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

After this I can see my ext3 file system installed on /dev/hda6 mounted
on /

But this is some kind of fail-over shell I guess.
